In context
13Let anyone who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.” 14To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write: “These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God’s creation. 15I know your works — you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either cold or hot! 16So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing,’ and you do not realize that you are the wretched one — pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.
